Abstract:
A configuration (600), all components of which are man portable, for holding inexpensive composite panels (100) that protect assets against external force and impacts from airborne projectiles. An open box-like stackable frame module (1400) holds thin panels (100) along a longitudinal axis of the frame (1300). Multiple frames (1400) are connected to construct a protective barrier, such as a wall (1500). The panels (100) may be formulated of a very high strength portland cement-based concrete with one side, both sides, or both sides and all edges, covered with elastic material, the combination of which significantly reduces penetration of projectiles. A panel (100) may be covered with specially formulated elastic material (103) comprising multiple layers, each layer of a different type or thickness of elastic material (103). The elastic material (103) may include reinforcing material such as fabric woven from available COTS high-strength fibers. The panels (100) may be fabricated using basic means available in rural locations. A method of installing is also provided.
Abstract:
A cementitious armor panel assembly including cementitious armor panel with ballistic and blast resistant properties attached to a frame structure to produce a protective structure. The cementitious armor panels have a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of an inorganic cement binder, an inorganic mineral filler having a particle size of about 150-450 microns, a pozzolanic mineral filler, a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer self-leveling agent, and water. The mixture may also contain alkanolamine, and acid or acid salt. Prior to curing, the continuous phase is reinforced with fiber uniformly distributed in the continuous phase before it is cured to form the panel. The panel may be reinforced with a skin attached to at least one surface of the panel.
Abstract:
Policy-based genomic digital data sharing facilitates a variety of sharing scenarios, including public access, tenant-to-tenant sharing, workgroup sharing, and access by external service providers. Genomic digital data can be published to the platform and controlled by access tokens that are generated based on access policies. The policies can support conditions that are evaluated at execution time and effectively place control of access to information in hands of the owning tenant. Sharing conditions can be easily specified to support various use cases, relieving administrators from excessive access control configuration.
Abstract:
A configuration (100), all components of which are man portable in some embodiments, for holding panels (10) to protect assets against external force and impacts from airborne projectiles. An open box-like stackable frame module (800) holds panels (10) along a side of the frame (800). Multiple frames (800) are connected to construct a protective barrier, such as a wall (1000). Frames (800) include provisions for connection in a vertical configuration (1000) so as to allow stacking of the frames (800) to increase the height of the barrier. A method of installing is also provided.
